"Jinguji Martial Arts. He ran to the inside?!"
After everyone in Lingnan entered the frontcourt to support Fujima, they saw the changed positions of Shohoku High School. They were all shocked when they saw Jinguji Budo and Sakuragi Hanamichi switching positions. On Jinguji Budo under the basket.
Fujima, who was holding the ball, couldn't help but slow down his dribbling speed when approaching the three-point line, observing the defensive formation currently set up by Shohoku High School.
Shinomiya stood outside the three-point line. He looked at Hanamichi Sakuragi who was standing in front of him with a suspicious expression, and then at Jinguji Budo who was standing under the basket. He raised his eyebrows slightly and couldn't help but murmur. road:
"Xiangbei. What fancy tricks are you playing?"
Shinomiya Tano withdrew his gaze and looked at Sakuragi Hanamichi, who was standing in front of him with his waist bent and defensive, and couldn't help but ask:
"First grade boy."
"What tricks are you guys playing in Xiangbei?"
"You let a rookie like you guard me. Do you think you can stop me?"
Seeing Sakuragi Hanamichi's serious expression, Shinomiya couldn't help but frown.
Shinomiya felt that he had been underestimated by his opponent. The red-haired boy in front of him looked serious. In his mind, he seemed to really think that he could suppress him with his strength? !
"What are you talking about?!"
"Come here, Shinomiya Tōno!"
"This genius will definitely be able to stop you!"
Sakuragi Hanamichi curled his lips, and did not show any fear at all in front of Shinomiya Tanano. And his attitude in speaking completely angered Shinomiya Tanano.
"Are you planning to anger me?"
"If that's the case, then you succeeded!"
"Boy, you said you wanted to stop me?! If you can, come up and try!"
When Shinomiya Tianye was furious, his mind was filled with clarity. He is different from those idiots whose blood surges when they are angry. When he is angry, his mind becomes calmer.
While speaking, Shinomiya turned sideways and leaned directly against Sakuragi Hanamichi, and at the same time waved to Fujima Kenji at the top of the arc. Seeing this, the latter quickly passed the ball out and gave it to Shinomiya Nono. Shinomiya took the ball and turned around quickly. After taking a tentative step to the right, he immediately put his foot back and dropped the ball towards Sakuragi Hanamichi's left. Side breakthrough.
And at the moment when Sakuragi Hanamichi stepped up to follow up, Shinomiya's left hand circled the world, turned his back to the right and quickly passed Sakuragi Hanamichi.
Sakuragi on the defensive side is used to guarding his opponent's right turn, but Shinomiya's counterintuitive weak-side turn was something Sakuragi did not expect at first.
Shinomiya Tano was different from the opponents Sakuragi Hanamichi had ever encountered. For Shinomiya, there is no difference between the so-called strong side and weak side. Which way you turn to pass someone depends entirely on your needs.
However, just as Shinomiya had just crossed Sakuragi Hanamichi and entered the three-point line, Jinguji Budo, who was standing under the basket, suddenly walked out of the paint area, raised his position slightly, and stood on Shinomiya's breakthrough route in advance.
Shinomiya Tōno, who was walking, saw this, his expression condensed, and he immediately made a pull-up jumper and shot the ball directly from the high post.
The movements of Jinguji martial arts have affected Shinomiya Tano's nerves.
Compared to forcibly attacking the two-meter-long basket guarded by Jinguji Budo, an open jump shot after a breakthrough is obviously Shinomiya's most reasonable offensive option at the moment.
"Uh-huh!"
There was no accident. Shinomiya's shot was quite accurate, and the basketball fell directly into the net with a crisp sound.
After the goal, Lingnan High School retreated quickly. After adjusting its defensive state, Shohoku High School failed in its first defense, but none of the Shohoku players paid attention.
"Sakuragi, your defense is good. If you apply a little more pressure, you don't have to worry about being broken through by the opponent. Press on when you are defending."
"For an opponent like that, if your defense is too loose, it will give the opponent a chance."
"Be decisive, I'm behind you."
Jinguji Budo came to Sakuragi Hanamichi's side while running towards the front court, teaching the opponent the defensive method they should choose.
In fact, from the very beginning, the purpose of letting Sakuragi Hanamichi defend Shinomiya was mainly to hope that Sakuragi could put some defensive pressure on Shinomiya, so that the opponent would have no problem breaking through. Behind Sakuragi, there would be someone who could make up the defense.
But as much as possible, don't leave the opponent open to shoot like they are now.
"Oh hiss!"
Sakuragi nodded and agreed decisively. The pace of running also speeded up unconsciously.
Sakuragi Hanamichi is very excited now. He can personally keep an eye on Shinomiya Tanano of Lingnan High School. Such an opportunity is something that other Shohoku players simply cannot imagine.
Maybe people are afraid of Shinomiya's powerful attack power, fearing that he will become the background of the opponent's offensive performance, and refuse to mark Shinomiya.
But Sakuragi Hanamichi won't. He will only think that his strength has been recognized by his teammates, and he will be responsible for defending the ace of Lingnan High School.
What? ! Do you think Shinomiya is the top player in the country and ordinary people can't guard him?
That’s just right!
As long as Sakuragi Hanamichi can stop Shinomiya Wildo, then he will be able to prove that he is the top player in the country!
When he thought of this, Sakuragi Hanamichi's footsteps became much more brisk.
Jinguji Budo looked at Sakuragi Hanamichi running towards the frontcourt, and couldn't help but smile on his face. If Sakuragi can contain Shinomiya's outside shooting as expected and force the opponent to enter his preset pocket, then Shohoku will definitely be able to cool down the offensive firepower of Lingnan High School.
On the side of the court, coach Tian Gang crossed his arms and watched the game on the court with a serious face.
The adjustment of Shohoku High School's defensive formation caught his attention.
He has already guessed Shohoku High School's plan, and Coach Taoka is thinking of a response plan.
The purpose of Shohoku High School's defense is not to completely stifle Shinomiya's offense. Their plan is just to increase the difficulty of Shinomiya's offense as much as possible and reduce Shinomiya's offensive efficiency.
As long as this can be achieved, Shohoku High School will be able to rely on higher offensive efficiency to maintain the score advantage until the end of the game.
In the stadium, Xiangbei High School is organizing an attack.
Rukawa Kaede, who was holding the ball on the outside, single-handedly broke through Fujima Kenji. After breaking through Fujima's defense, he stopped and shot a jumper.
But this time, Rukawa Kaede's overall rhythm from breakthrough to shooting was affected by Fujima's defense. The shot was inaccurate and the basketball collapsed out of the frame.
The rebound was in the hands of Jun Uozumi, who was in a better position.
Lingnan High School, which successfully blocked Xiangbei's attack, quickly launched a counterattack.
However, the Xiangbei players returned to defense very quickly. Lingnan, who failed in the fast break, quickly readjusted his rhythm and planned to fight for the position.
At the top of the Shohoku arc, Fujima Kenji holds the ball in his right hand and observes the defensive formation of Shohoku High School.
Just when he was about to give the ball to Shinomiya Tanano, Akira Sendō quickly made a pick-and-roll for Fujima.
Seeing this scene, Fujima decisively changed his offensive thinking and decisively dropped the ball to break through. The moment he broke through, Shohoku's Mitsui Hisashi and Rukawa Kaede quickly completed the defense change.
Mitsui Shou raised his hand high, pressed his body against Fujima who was moving at high speed, and used his strength to force Fujima to a stop.
When an offensive player breaks through with the ball, if he still maintains high-speed movement under huge defensive pressure, he will easily lose control of the basketball.
Forced to stall, Fujima could only quickly switch the ball to his right hand after an emergency stop, and then hooked the ball behind him with his right hand and passed it to Sendō Akira behind.
At this time, after helping Fujima in the pick-and-roll, Sendō also blocked Rukawa Kaede behind him and was ready to get the ball. In terms of competition experience, Sendō is richer than Rukawa Kaede, and he has already predicted what Fujima might do.
After taking possession of the basketball, Rukawa Kaede made a big circle and came to Xiandao, positioning himself to defend.
By the time Rukawa Kaede was in place, Fujima had quickly moved out of the way, and Hisashi Mitsui was pulled by Fujima and quickly left his position, vacating the position leading to the basket.
"Hello, Rukawa Kaede!" Xiandao greeted with a smile and raised the basketball above his head. Rukawa Kaede didn't pay too much attention to Xiandao's movements. After all, Xiandao had just gotten the ball, and it was within one step of three-pointers. High position, still quite far away from the basket.
Xiandao's lifting movement is most likely a fake movement, the purpose is to deceive his center.
Rukawa Kaede was thinking this in his mind, but the fairy in front of him jumped slightly while raising the ball, and at the same time, he quickly threw the basketball.
Xiandao's ball-raising action was not a fake action at all!
"What?!" Rukawa Feng turned around in surprise, and at this time Xiandao also had a smile on his face.
"Uh-huh!"
The basketball hit the net, and two points were added to the scoreboard of Lingnan High School.
Seeing the basketball hit the net, Sendao chuckled and whistled, attracting Rukawa Kaede's attention. Looking back, Rukawa Kaede looked at Xiandao with a smile on his face and couldn't help but frown.
"Rukawa Kaede, do you know why Jinguji Martial Arts' attack is so difficult to defend against?"
After Xiandao scored, he did not immediately return to the field to defend, but instead started talking to Rukawa Kaede.
Hearing this, Rukawa Feng frowned and looked at Xiandao without answering. He didn't understand Xiandao's intention. When Xiandao saw that Rukawa Kaede didn't talk to him and didn't care, he asked and answered himself:
"It's simple, because almost every time he takes a shot, it's unexpected."
"At the same time, he also has the ability to score these unexpected offenses."
"I more or less learned some of his offensive ideas, which are quite useful."
After Xiandao finished speaking, he glanced at Jinguji Martial Arts on the inside, then raised his chin towards Martial Arts from afar, and quickly turned around to return to defense.
Jinguji Martial Arts saw Xiandao's "demonstration", and Martial Arts was also in trouble with Lingnan, who had a dual-core outside ace.
"It's not easy to fight!"
"On the offensive end, let Hisashi Mitsui have more shooting opportunities. With his three-point shooting ability, he should be able to suppress Lingnan in terms of firepower."
"It's difficult to win against a team like this simply by relying on defense."
Jinguji Budo had a plan in mind. During another attack in Shohoku, Budo began to try to mobilize Mitsui Hisashi as an outside scoring point. Not only did he take the initiative to change the position of Ushikaku, he also took the initiative to set up a pick-and-roll for Mitsui Hisashi.
Sure enough, after the Jinguji Budo pick-and-roll, Hisashi Mitsui slipped from the bottom corner to the corner, and Lingnan's Sendō and Shinomiya Tano also quickly completed the defense change.
Rukawa Kaede seemed to be aware of Budo's intention. When Mitsui Hisashi moved towards the corner, he quickly played the ball to Mitsui Hisashi.
After getting the basketball, Hisashi Mitsui directly raised the ball to shoot, but after switching defenses, Shinomiya immediately jumped in front of Hisashi Mitsui and jumped to block Mitsui Hisashi's shot.
Shinomiya's actions were seen by Mitsui Hisashi. Seeing Shinomiya's intention to take off and block the shot, Mitsui's lifting the ball immediately dropped the ball and moved sideways. However, at the moment Mitsui received the ball, Shinomiya's body He quickly sank down and stopped directly in front of Mitsui Shou with a sliding step.
Mitsui Hisashi's fake move was seen through by Shinomiya Tano!
Not only that, when Basketball realized there was no chance to shoot, Shinomiya's defense pressed directly on Mitsui Hisashi.
Jinguji Budo was able to barely withstand Shinomiya's defensive aggression, but Hisashi Mitsui couldn't handle it at all. He was unsteady on his feet and his control of the basketball in his hands also declined rapidly.
Sensing the opportunity, Shinomiya struck out decisively, touching the basketball with one hand and intercepting the ball.
After stealing the ball in the frontcourt, Shinomiya took off directly, grabbed the ball firmly in his hands, and then rushed towards the Shohoku half.
Facing Lingnan's defensive counterattack, no one on the Shohoku side could keep up. At this time, Jinguji Budo was cutting to the inside, planning to grab a rebound under the basket if Hisashi Mitsui missed a shot. .
Unexpectedly, Hisashi Mitsui not only had no chance to shoot under Shinomiya's defense, but also had the ball intercepted.
“Bang!!!”
Shinomiya Dano dribbled the ball into the frontcourt, and then performed a 360° spin dunk in the air for the audience, and poured the basketball into the basket.
The cheers from the audience poured into the stadium, and reporters around the stadium focused their cameras on Shinomiya. Some reporters with cameras also clicked the shutter in their hands.
“Ho ho ho~~~~”
Coach Smith in the stands couldn't help but cheer when he saw Shinomiya's explosive dunk performance. He was full of interest in this Asian high school player.
Xiangbei High School failed in two consecutive rounds of offense, and Lingnan High School instantly regained the four-point difference.
Jinguji Budo glanced at the scoreboard on the sidelines and knew what went wrong with his plan.
It is also a pick-and-roll defense. Sendō can break through Rukawa Kaede's defense, but Mitsui Hisashi, it is not easy to break through Shinomiya's defense.
It's best to...
Soon, Rukawa Kaede went to the backcourt of Shohoku to get the ball, and then pushed the ball towards the frontcourt. Budo watched Rukawa Kaede and Mitsui Hisashi slowly running towards the frontcourt, glanced at Mitsui Hisashi, and then He cast a vague sidelong glance at Fujima.
Mitsui Shou, who noticed the martial arts movements, looked slightly startled at first, and then quickly understood the meaning of martial arts.
Shohoku High School plans to use Fujima as the breakthrough point!
